Spelling of Luisa's Surname

Post by AngelaGrace56 »

Looking at this original record I am wondering whether the surname might be spelt Alesaco - just to confuse matters a little more. With some scripts the "f" and the "s" can be confused somewhat. Just a thought. I notice in your tree here you have got "Alefico". Where did you get this spelling from?

Hi Angela,

I believe I got the spelling from the beginning of this thread.

Thanks for all of your help!

You are very welcome, but please check it all out first. I always bracket things until I am 100% sure. Hopefully one of the more experienced and skilled genealogists here will read over what I've found here and add a comment if they think something looks like it needs further research.

I don't have Ancestry.com. Will check it out when I am next at the library. They have an institutional subscription.

I have put the births in chronological order. I have found another two original records for you at the antenati site and have added the links here.

The ages jump around a little but that's quite normal in these records. You won't really know the exact year of birth until you find Domenico and Luisa's actual birth records. I'm not sure whether they knew how to spell Luisa's surname because the spelling seems to change in the original birth records also.

TRANSLATION HELP PLEASE

Post by AngelaGrace56 »

I can’t exactly read the addresses but it seems to say in the first few records that they were living in an old ? chapel. (Densro/dentro?Capella Vecchia).

Maria Teresa’s birth record says, if I am deciphering correctly, “domiciiato nel locale di Santa Maria a Cappella Vecchia” so living close to this?

Vincenzo’s record seems to say “domiciliato vico Santa Maria a Capella numero 32”. I think vico is short for vicino (close to)? Or it could just be “via”.

Could someone please check Vincenzo’s birth record for me as I am quite interested to know for myself as well. Thankyou.

vico Santa Maria a Capella

I think I understand now. Vicolo (I've never seen that word before) translates to "alley" or "narrow street" and so Santa Maria a Capella is actually the name of a lane or street. (I googled it and it is still there.) Initially I was thinking that it was the name of an actual building!!! :oops: It all makes sense now. Thank you.
